If your motherboard supports FSB at 133 MHz, then it should support
PC-133 memory.
Everything I've read says it (i810E motherboard) supports 66/100/133
fsb and PC-100 memory. I've read that some BIOSes allow you to adjust
the memory clock (fsb, fsb+33, fsb-33) but I don't have that option in
my BIOS. Could there be a jumper on the motherboard somewhere?
If I plug in the new CPU and something goes wrong, is there a way to
tell if it's because my PC-100 memory can't handle the 133 fsb or
because my motherboard isn't compatible with Tuatalin CPUs?
